Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) - DL

Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) – 1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze for Cinematic Widescreen

The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm T2.4 1.5X S35 (Silver) is a compact anamorphic cine lens built for Super35 cinema cameras. It provides a 1.5x anamorphic squeeze to create a true widescreen cinematic image with oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares. The 50mm focal length gives a natural perspective and flattering compression, well suited for character-driven shots and portrait-style cinematography.

Cinematic look and anamorphic characteristics

This lens produces classic anamorphic visual traits. It renders oval bokeh and elongated horizontal flares, both hallmarks of anamorphic optics. The silver flare option on this version produces a neutral and modern aesthetic. Unlike stronger colored flare options, the silver flare keeps the image clean and unobtrusive while preserving the anamorphic feel.

With its 1.5x squeeze factor, the lens delivers a widescreen field of view when de-squeezed in post, giving your projects a cinematic aspect ratio and a distinctive anamorphic look. The 50mm focal length supports close but natural subject framing, which helps emphasize characters and storytelling in a subtle, flattering way.

Optical performance and aperture

The lens features a bright T2.4 aperture that performs well in low-light situations and enables precise depth-of-field control. A 13-blade iris produces a shallow depth of field and smooth, cinematic bokeh that enhances subject separation from the background. The precision-engineered anamorphic optics aim to deliver sharp details, minimal focus breathing, and smooth focus transitions for professional use.

Mechanics, build and handling

The Laowa Nanomorph 50mm is compact and lightweight, making it suitable for handheld work and easy integration on gimbals or drones. Standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture allow straightforward integration with professional follow-focus systems. The lens uses manual focus and aperture control, giving filmmakers full creative control over focus pulls and exposure changes. Its durable all-metal construction provides professional-grade reliability for repeated field use.

Available flare styles

Laowa offers the Nanomorph series with different flare color options to match various creative needs. This model is the silver flare version, which provides a neutral, modern look with minimal color cast. The series is also available in blue and amber flare options for filmmakers who prefer more stylized flare color casts.
